Okay, this was inspired by looking at the list on this blog. Currently a Mashed Potatoes entry is the tenth most read selection.
Once, in my writing group, we were doing a writing exercise, and the theme was mashed potatoes. It was amazing how many different takes we came up with! Who knew mashed potatoes was such a diverse subject?
There were recipes.
There were descriptions.
There was nutritional information. (I think. It was a long time ago.)
There were memories.
There was wishful thinking.
And--
There was dancing.
Yes, dancing.
To one of our members, mashed potatoes were not food nor family.
Mashed potatoes were not facts and feelings. (maybe some of the latter.)
The Mashed Potato was a dance.
A joy.
A cherishment.
A love.
I try to remember this different outlook on the mashed potato when I am writing. Others may refer to it as Thinking Outside the Box.
I think of it as doing the mashed potato while others are cooking and eating.
There is more than one kind of nourishment provided by Mashed Potato.
